Delaware vs Kennesaw State Prediction

I’ll take a stab on Kennesaw State but it’s a coin flip. The Owls beat a good Liberty team in their home matchup this week, shooting 50.9 percent from the field and a stellar 61.1 percent (11-of-18) from 3-point range. Kennesaw State aded a 28-18 rebounding edge and a 30-22 advantage on points in the paint but did have 12 turnovers. The Owls have won three straight games now, scoring 74 or more points in two of them.

These teams last saw each other back on January 4 in a 67-52 road loss for the Owls. Kennesaw State managed to shoot a miserable 28.3 percent from the field and 20 percent (7-of-35) from outside in that one, along with 13 turnovers and a 38-14 deficit on points in the paint. The Owls did well on the boards (39-29) and at the line (11-of-12 for 91.7 percent) though, so there’s hope they’ll look better in the home rematch.
